Default Bearings questions, Z6 pistons/Rods A6 crank and Block

I’m doing my first basic simple rebuild of an engine and had a question about the proper bearings to use.

I’m planning on using a D16A6 block and crank with D16Z6 rods and pistons and wanted to know which main and rod bearings to use and should I use the Z6 rings?

So use the A6 bearings for the crank and rods and the Z6 rings?

I have a A6 block with crank and the Z6 rods and pistons are the only ones I could find at a decent price.

ok then, well as long as they are the same size rods you can use them, the pistons should be the same. I thinkn the rods are too but don't hold me on that...,

like I said before, not too sure on rods but sure the pistons are the same, so saying ofcouse the rings will be the same. just not too sure on rods as b18 ls are different then b18 gsr even tho they both have 1.8L engines.

I actually look on Hondapartsdeals.com and the Z6 and A6 rod part numbers were the same so I think I'm going to get A6 bearings and Z6 rings just to be safe
